“I think it’s wonderful,” Susie McAdams said of the sights as she marched. “It’s great, and I love the fact that it’s not only African-Americans....

Activists hope to launch a local chapter of the Citizens Climate Lobby, an international nonprofit dedicated to creating the political will to address climate change, in Denton this week.

The chapter launch is one of six planned nationwide in the next few weeks. Denton and other new chapters planned in California, New Hampshire and South Carolina would join 222 chapters formed across the globe since 2007.

An initial meeting is planned for 2 p.m. Saturday in Room 176 of the Environmental Education, Science and Technology Building at the University of North Texas.
